6 reposync - redirecting to DNF reposync Plugin
7 Synchronize packages of a remote DNF repository to a local directory.
9
11 dnf reposync [options]
12
14 reposync makes local copies of remote repositories. Packages that are
15 already present in the local directory are not downloaded again.
16
18 All general DNF options are accepted. Namely, the --repoid option can
19 be used to specify the repositories to synchronize. See Options in
20 dnf(8) for details.
21 -a <architecture>, --arch=<architecture>
23 Download only packages of given architectures (default is all
24 architectures). Can be used multiple times.
25 --delete
27 Delete local packages no longer present in repository.
28 --download-metadata
30 Download all repository metadata. Downloaded copy is instantly
31 usable as a repository, no need to run createrepo_c on it. When
32 the option is used with --newest-only, only latest packages will
33 be downloaded, but metadata will still contain older packages.
34 It might be useful to update metadata using createrepo_c --up‐
35 date to remove the packages with missing RPM files from meta‐
36 data. Otherwise, DNF ends with an error due to the missing files
37 whenever it tries to download older packages.
38 -g, --gpgcheck
40 Remove packages that fail GPG signature checking after download‐
41 ing. Exit code is 1 if at least one package was removed. Note
42 that for repositories with gpgcheck=0 set in their configuration
43 the GPG signature is not checked even with this option used.
44 -m, --downloadcomps
46 Also download and uncompress comps.xml. Consider using --down‐
47 load-metadata option which will download all available reposi‐
48 tory metadata.
49 --metadata-path
51 Root path under which the downloaded metadata are stored. It de‐
52 faults to --download-path value if not given.
53 -n, --newest-only
55 Download only newest packages per-repo.
56 --norepopath
58 Don't add the reponame to the download path. Can only be used
59 when syncing a single repository (default is to add the repon‐
60 ame).
61 -p <download-path>, --download-path=<download-path>
63 Root path under which the downloaded repositories are stored,
64 relative to the current working directory. Defaults to the cur‐
65 rent working directory. Every downloaded repository has a subdi‐
66 rectory named after its ID under this path.
67 --safe-write-path
69 Specify the filesystem path prefix under which the reposync is
70 allowed to write. If not specified it defaults to download path
71 of the repository. Useful for repositories that use relative lo‐
72 cations of packages out of repository directory (e.g. "../pack‐
73 ages_store/foo.rpm"). Use with care, any file under the
74 safe-write-path can be overwritten. Can be only used when sync‐
75 ing a single repository.
76 --remote-time
78 Try to set the timestamps of the downloaded files to those on
79 the remote side.
80 --source
82 Download only source packages.
83 -u, --urls
85 Just print urls of what would be downloaded, don't download.
86
88 dnf reposync --repoid=the_repo
89 Synchronize all packages from the repository with id "the_repo".
90 The synchronized copy is saved in "the_repo" subdirectory of the
91 current working directory.
92 dnf reposync -p /my/repos/path --repoid=the_repo
94 Synchronize all packages from the repository with id "the_repo".
95 In this case files are saved in "/my/repos/path/the_repo" direc‐
96 tory.
97 dnf reposync --repoid=the_repo --download-metadata
99 Synchronize all packages and metadata from "the_repo" reposi‐
100 tory.
101 Repository synchronized with --download-metadata option can be directly
103 used in DNF for example by using --repofrompath option:
104 dnf --repofrompath=syncedrepo,the_repo --repoid=syncedrepo list
106 --available
